Eric Olschwanger: Bringing New Life to Old Jewelry and Stones

DALLAS, Mar 23, 2010 / — When guests bring in their old jewelry pieces to private jeweler Eric Olschwanger he creates a new luxurious style with their precious stones of the past and their personal inspiration.

This pictured brooch (left) began with a pile of heirloom gems and a client’s affection for hummingbirds. Eric brought her vision to life in his private Dallas studios.

As an international diamond buyer and certified diamond gemologist Eric commonly builds his fine jewelry collection with hand selected certified gems. Yet Eric also offers his clients the opportunity to incorporate their stones of sentiment into his creations.

The result is a new piece of jewelry with historical meaning. In addition, the opportunity to utilize family jewels allows for an affluent indulgence in the weakened economy.

Regardless of designing from scratch or with sentimental gems Eric ensures that the client receives an education on the design process and on available value. The client can be involved in each step of the design process from the sketch to AutoCad design to final product presentation, creating an interactive process for the buyer.

Voted Best Rings Designer in North Texas in 2009, Eric Olschwanger is a GIA certified diamond gemologist and has over 18 years of extensive experience in consumer education, fine jewelry design and jewelry redesign.

Eric also feels it’s important to work within any allowed budget. There is no inventory to suggest at Eric’s studio so his objective is to build a stunning piece of jewelry to fit the client’s needs.
